What do the figures earned by the city on fines say?

The increase in revenue from fines can be viewed from two sides. On the one hand, it has a positive impact on the city budget, providing additional resources for infrastructure development and other city projects. On the other hand, high fines indicate the need for further work to improve parking culture and compliance with traffic rules among Kyiv residents.

In addition, it is a signal to drivers about the need for a more responsible attitude to parking rules. Moreover, it is not so hard to find a parking place in the Ukrainian capital, including through the Kyiv Digital app.
